Will testers be among the first IT professionals to shift their toolset and workflows from desktops and laptops to tablets and smartphones? As I’m sure you already know, a monumental shift from desktop to mobile is upon us. Not only have consumer applications started leaving the desktop behind, but B2B applications are also starting their ...
Devices matter. We don’t yet trust the mobile devices like we trust desktops and laptops. In the course of testing traditional web applications, rarely do you have to think about the model of the actual machine. In mobile, however, the behavior of an application can vary from device to device. You can no longer just ...

LogiGear Magazine, September 2015: Mobile Testing
This is the second part of a two part article that analyzes the impact of product development for the internet of things (IoT) on software testing. Part one of this article (LogiGear Magazine, Sept 2014) gave a wide view on the IoT, embedded systems, and the device development aspects of testing on these projects. This ...
The most significant facet of mobile testing is understanding the mobile ecosystem. Mobile applications are growing in use and sophistication along with the speed of the networks and the increasing power of the devices. To be sure, mobile application testing can be done with minimal automation, but a high level of test automation will help ...
I am not a big fan of concepts which moves industry standards to IT. I am rather a Agile and Scrum guy. Managing multiple projects at once and trying to set a highest quality standard is a challenge and this book shows how industrial language can be translated into software development. I do not think that it ...
Convergence of Social Media, Mobile, Analytics, & Cloud [SMAC] is one of the hottest trends these days. It is a major business agenda forcing organizations to rethink their strategies and increase technology investments in this direction.
To start with, we need a Test schedule. The same is created in the process of developing the Test plan. In this schedule, we have to estimate the time required for testing of the entire Data Warehouse system. There are different methodologies available to create a Test schedule. None of them are perfect because the ...
Test engineers face a rapidly changing mobile application landscape, making mobile test automation a necessity. We know that mobile apps are becoming increasingly complex along with the technological advances in tablets and smartphones. Test engineers have to address multiple challenges while testing data-centric mobile apps, including the growing diversity of device features, platforms, and technologies. Fortunately, ...
Testing appears to be the least popular topic in Android development circles based on the relatively few books on Android app testing. Most tend to focus on development because, unfortunately (but true), application testing isn’t be something most developers think much about, or if they do, they don’t do it systematically (I’m guilty of this ...
Removing the barriers to move and better mobile testing. Over the last decade, application testing has continually proved itself to be an important concern. When done well, testing can drastically reduce the number of bugs that make it into your release code (and thus actually affect your users). In addition, good testing approaches will help your ...
